St James Dental Practice Now Open

Keeping you safe during your next visit

When you next visit us, you will find some things a little different.

New ways to look after you and the dental team have been introduced during Covid-19 and below are a few things you can expect to happen.

1. Wait until your appointment. We may ask you to wait outside and only enter the practice after the previous patient has left.
2. Reception Team The reception team will be wearing a protective visor and there are Perspex screens on the reception desk.
3. Lets Check it is safe to see you. You will be asked some questions about your health and will have your temperature checked.
4. Sanitise your hands . You will be asked to use a hand sanitiser.
5. Practise social distancing To aid social distancing , you may be encouraged to attend alone if possible. We are currently operating with a one patient ONLY policy in the waiting room.
6. Maintaining High standards Cross infection control remains a major priority. PPE and enhanced decontamination measures may take longer, so please be understanding.
7. Our new uniforms . We as a clinical team will be wearing additional protective equipment that may include a mask, visor and gown. But please don’t worry, it’s just to keep everyone safe.
8. Once we have finished After you have finished your appointment we will ask you to sanitise your hands again, before leaving the surgery.
9. Thank you for your continued support and understanding and please bear with us.

Covid -19 is requiring us to change the way we work and treat our patients. Thanks for helping us to keep everyone safe.

Stay Safe and well, best wishes from the St James Dental Surgery Team.
